Injectors for 1.7- advised replacements. Options

[914nb]

Hi all

After finding i have 4 seriously leaking injectors on a new purchase i need to think about replacements- i have had the original 4 looked at this morning at the local bosch authorised service centre and been advised they are scrap and cannot be rebuilt, he also noticed 2 have been previously sealed with superglue.

I appreciate after market replacements may give mixed reviews and opinions but for me if I have any chance of enjoying the car next spring will be my only option due to cost.

Can anyone recommend a cost friendly replacement injector?


From past searches iv seen talk of fj114s and fj6s but id like to know if anyone is using anything successfully they can recommend to me?

Please ignore my ignorance, while im capable of fitting parts im no mechanic and my skills are in body repair or were until fibromyalgia got in my path.

Many thanks,

Nathan

Bosch manufactured the last run of those injectors in 2007. I missed on the occasion to buy new ones back then.
When stored dry for a longer period or not been used (driven), they tend to dry out and fuel is leaking out between the plastic and the steel housing. Nothing you can do, since the plastic is molded onto the body. No way to separate.
Note the corrosion under the yellow plastic, too. (Yes - 914´s even rust on the injectors!)

I was lucky to obtain a bunch of used ones from the 914 Deutschland Club (I am a member of more than 30 years) and sorted out good ones.

You can check www.mittelmotor.de.
They offer new replacements for those injectors, if that is of any help.

Greetings, Arno
